A-7K In War Thunder : A Basic Review

Taking a look at the A-7K, the top air prize from the "repair factory" crafting event in spring of 2023.

==============================
I'm all over the place!

Let me know how the audio levels sound in this vid, I tried some different settings.

[SPFLDAngler]

Also as some other review pointed out. There is an F4 in the tech tree at the same BR that can carry the same amount of Maverick missiles, further making the A7K absolutely useless.

F4E Phantom II

I just gotta say (though I'm sure you hear this a ton), I absolutely love your video quality. From information, to opinion, it's all excellent. I hope to see some tank reviews too sometime!

[quebec]

Is anyone else noticing that most of the recent event air vehicles are trainers with ground strike capabilities? Its honestly getting kind of boring for all that grinding required.

[jeremysiegel]

I could listen to these reviews for hours. Such a great work

[JustJohn]

heres hoping that they go super cheap on the market cause its subsonic and extremely uptiered. only reason i want this plane is because of the default PR National Guard skin

[prex]

Like I said on another channel, perfect example of planes (at least) needing separate BRs for Air RB and Ground RB

[Ajufyrbsusirnr]

I'm a new-ish player to War thunder, and when I saw this event come out I knew I needed this vehicle. I'm so far on my fifth day on grinding and I gotta say, I've never been so stressed out when playing any video game like this. Out of all the reviews I've seen, this is the best I found. Great video!

[qquintus]

I love how we need to emphasize that the sources were declassified

[BlueLightningHawk]

I like that emphasis on the DE-classified documents, lol.

[homefront]

I've been having less and less fun with these events. But I will admit, I hope to god we get a Premium Reservist Bob Semple Tank as the primary reward. Like sure you can pick any other the other vehicles at 11.0. But the idea of the Bob Semple tank being the highest tier reward is insanely funny to me.

[farmcat]

Tim says at the end "it isn't fast BUT IT SURE IS SLOW"

[J]

Audio all good! I can see this jet changing BR rather soon!

[EATSxBABIES]

Here's the thing about the A7K, the F4E exists and does everything it can do (minus the 30mm brrrrt's) and usually better.

All the A7's are over tiered and power crept from the days where they had the only standoff guided air to ground munitions. Now a days, it wouldn't be out of place next to the A10 and Su25 in terms of capability.

[Kaal_Dagon]

"It's a steep learning curve if you haven't flown subsonic strike jets at br 11.0" I have and this is an interesting way of saying "it sucks ass!"

[laxmannate]

tip for targeting. set the point of interest near where you are looking for targets and the tv view will be looking there when you switch to it.

[User-rnbb]

I would like a video about how to fight pantsir. You said, that providing CAS in tornado is challenging, but possible. Well, i have a tornado, and i was trying really hard, and its not possible, atleast for me

[kgw]

I love this jet. Its maneuverability is amazing and pretty damn fast acceleration. Its like playing a faster a4

[epicjulian]

Great video! Honestly, despite the A-7K's current BR, I'm still planning on getting it one way or another, mostly because it's the only reward I'm interested in atm (The chinese "terminator" looks neat, but I don't have 9.7 China yet, so it would be gathering dust in my hangar for a while; and I don't play Naval often enough to warrant getting the Light Cruiser reward). While I am not gonna enjoy the stock grind with it, I'm still gonna be happy with owning it for the collection if nothing else

[BlueLightningHawk]

So I've had this vehicle for awhile and recently got the missiles and I can't stay alive to use them before a Pantsir takes me out within 20 seconds of me spawning. Flare/Chaff combo not doing much either.
